Pro Tips

💡Always add a splash of broth or water when reheating chicken — it prevents drying out and adds moisture back.
💡Leftover chicken keeps 3-4 days in the fridge. If you won't use it by then, freeze it in portioned bags.
💡Rotisserie chicken from Costco ($7.99 for a whole chicken) is the best value ingredient in Canadian grocery stores.

Variations
